This is your first test. How long can you sit through this without wanting to stuff your face with molten cheese?

I thought so.

2. All the junk food still sitting in your fridge.

You can't just let it go to waste, right? Think of the children. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

3. "Healthy" food that is anything but.

Lean Cuisine is bad for you? Preposterous! It says "LEAN" right on the box!

4. Any situation involving a restaurant.

11. Family functions.
